Greetings!
	I've been playing nethack on my ST for a few weeks now and
recently the dungeon would collapse when I would go down the stairs.
It would complain about reading only 0 bytes from the LEVELS files
when it should have read 2 bytes.  It saves the character,
asks me if I want to identify my possessions (but doesn't show them),
and then kills my character via a "panic" and puts him in the scoreboard.

Does anyone have any ideas on how I can overcome this problem?  Do I
just have a corrupted file or is it more fundamental?

cheers,
